I think some people see the 2s as Humvee-wannabes and assume that GM just took whatever they had ready available, slapped a Humvee-esque box on it, and called it a day. Since, at a glance, the Tahoe would seem the most comparable in wheelbase and length I guess they assume that the Tahoe is the culprit.
One of my favorite "It's just a Tahoe" moments:
A few years back I was stuck on a trail in ME with a broken OEM tie rod when some Wranglers and an old Bronco stopped to help to swap the parts. The Jeepsters were quietly trading giggles and Tahoe comments a few paces off as me and the Bronco driver got the part changed out. The old-head had been a mechanic for 20-30 years and owned a Ford dealership, he admitted that he had never been under (or near) a Hummer before; when he climbed back out, eyes wide open, and said, "This is a 3/4 ton, 8 lug truck!" The giggling stopped...and I smiled.
